Comment on New Jersey pipe bombs force Amtrak to change train schedule

By DAVE COLLINS, Associated Press A federal judge in Texas rejected the auction sale of Alex Jones’ Infowars to The Onion satirical news outlet, criticizing the bidding for the conspiracy theory platform as flawed as well as how much money families of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary shooting stood to receive. The decision late Tuesday night is a victory for Jones, whose Infowars site was put up for sale as part of his bankruptcy case in the wake of the nearly $1.5 billion that courts have ordered him to pay over falsely calling one of the deadliest school shootings in U.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband and I have been invited to a wedding that begins at 3:30 p.m. on a Thursday. We are thrilled for the couple. However, I feel we should decline, as the bride and groom are sending a message — with their choice of a midweek afternoon ceremony — that they would prefer to have a small turnout. I believe we should say no but send a thoughtful note and gift.

Dear Eric: My wife and I married two years ago. We were both widowed after long happy marriages and feel blessed that we have found each other. When our first spouses died, they were interred in different local cemeteries. In each case, the headstone includes the surviving spouse’s name and birth year (of course, no death year yet!). So, when my wife and I die, we would be interred with our first spouses, with no reference to second spouses.

A Fort Lauderdale man was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison for submitting hundreds of fraudulent tax returns, totaling more than half a million dollars.

The area around Boca Raton’s Brightline station is envisioned to become a bustling hub of residences and stores. City officials are currently considering bringing as much as 1,163 residential units, 150,000 square feet of office space, 136,000 square feet of retail and commercial space and a more than 100 room hotel to the area. And that’s just the start — the plan is to create a transit-oriented community that is walkable and alluring, rather than being a “vacant wasteland,” as Mayor Scott Singer called it at a recent city meeting. This new community would rise at the city’s government-area campus, which is a 30-acre plot located at the intersection between West Palmetto Park Road and Dixie Highway.
